Summary
Tink, the anomaly of the deep end. The boy cursed to never grow up and never surpass the shackles of childhood. The rest were stuck young but they were still adults. They could drink, fuck, swear and smoked all they liked while Tink was stuck being sheltered by them all. He wanted to grow up, so, so desperately, but his body was betraying him. Oh what a teenage thing.
* disclaimer I am writing this from the perspective that tink is only physically a child and that he has developed mentally past the age he was frozen (which I'm saying was about 15 or 16) and I'm saying that any ‘childlike qualities’ he has are just his personality or from the others babying and sheltering him*

Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.
